The episode marked the death of lead character, Derek Shepherd, played by Patrick Dempsey who had starred on the series for the past eleven seasons. The episode focuses on Derek as he witnesses a car crash and tries to help the victims, but he is later involved in an accident, sending him to the hospital. The episode also has the fewest series regulars in an episode, with only six regulars appearing in the episode: Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, Chandra Wilson, Kevin McKidd, Sarah Drew and Caterina Scorsone. The episode's original broadcast was watched by 9.50 million viewers and registered the show as the week's highest rated drama and third-highest rated scripted series in the 18–49 demographic. It received mixed reviews from the critics who mainly lauded Pompeo's portrayal of Meredith Grey and deemed her "terrific" and called her performance "among the best work she's ever done on the show". ==Plot== The episode begins with Meredith flashing back, to her mom losing her in the park, inter cut with memories of saying goodbye to Derek, before his recent trip to D.C. and earlier on in their relationship. In morning he leaves for Washington, Meredith missed a call from Derek because she was rushing off with the kids, but later in the morning, he chats via speakerphone with Amelia, April, and Bailey while driving to the airport, until the call cut out. Moments later, a reckless driver zooms past Derek, loses control and crashes causing another driver to do the same. Derek stopped to tend to the injured. He fixes a dislocated leg, drags a couple away from their car seconds before it exploded, and uses dry cleaning bags to hold a young woman’s intestines in place, all while reassuring everyone that he doesn't let people die. As Derek reached over to the passenger seat of his car to grab his buzzing cell phone, a tractor-trailer came flying around the curve and plows into him at a speed. Derek is taken to an overcrowded hospital, but is awake and conscious, even talking himself through his multitude of injuries—albeit just mentally, as he’s lost the ability to speak. As Derek futilely tries to will the ER team into ordering a head CT, they instead rush him to an operating room, and Derek realizes he was probably going to die because they were making a mistake. The neurosurgeon took an hour and a half to arrive because he was at dinner, dismisses the only doctor who knew what she was talking about, and eventually discovers that it was too late to save Derek. Shortly after arriving at the hospital with Bailey and Zola in tow, Meredith is informed by the surgeons that there was nothing they could have done to save Derek’s life. Meredith pointed out that they should have ordered a head CT—and later corrected a doctor who called her “Mrs. Shepherd.” She condescendingly reviewed all of her options with said doctor before demanding that he give her the papers so she could sign off on pulling the plug. One of the hospital's doctor tearfully apologizes to an understanding Meredith. Meredith returns to the hospital room to say a final goodbye to her husband, accompanied with a montage of moments of their relationship, set to a piano version of Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars”, performed by Sleeping At Last (in international airings, this song is replaced by "You Were Supposed to Be Different" by Aron Wright.)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=- EW Community - EW.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「How to Save a Life (Grey's Anatomy)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
